That does it, this is the only format I will ever use!

You can compress bitmaps. MSDN article. They are not used very often, though.

Can I make a sprite request now that you're going into pixel art? PM me if you want more details.

Well, yeah.. if you save a bitmap as monochrome or 256 colors in MSPaint, it'll compress it. I thought that was standard though.
